country many years after Fairchild
suffered at the hands of their friends
at Gettysburg, had any idea of the
sentiment of the public touching the
war, they would make no such carl
cature of the man who stands at
the head Of an organization whose
membership numbers very near
half a million. Every patriotic
citizen who sees that insult to an
old soldier will despise the paper
and its political methods.

the badges of the Fifth and First
army corps. The inscription on
the monument will be: "Second

"Iron Brigade" The First regiment
monument will be fifteen feet high
half Waupaca granite, surmounted

scription 10 be: "Ffth Regiment
Wisconsin Volunteers, RasselPs Brit
gade, First Division, Sixth Army

When She Comes Home,

When she comes home again! A Thousand
ways
I fashion, to myself, the tenderness
OF my glad welcome: | shall trcmhle--yes;
And touch her, as when first in the old
days
raise
Mine eyes, such was my faint hearts sweet
distress
Then silence; And the perfume of her
dress:
The room win sway little. and II haze
Cloy eyesight-soulsight even-for a space;
And tears-yes; and the ache here in the
throat
To know that so i'll deserve the place
Her arms make for me; and the sobbng note
] stay with kisses, ere the fearful face
Again is hidden in the old embrace.

Our Fire Department.

The regular monthly meeting of the Paw
Fire Department was held last Thursday
evening. Considerable discussion was had
under the ''good of the order in regard to
non-attendance of members at fire-practice
and at the monthly meetings. A good many
of the members-some the best in the de-
partment, are liable, under the rules and
regulations, to be dropped from the rolls for
such neglect of duty. As the next meeting
will be the time for the nomination of officers
TO be elected in September, it is hoped and
expected that there will be a full attendance
Another topic of interest was considerably
discussed, and that was the necessity of hav-
ing an infusion of young blood among the
membership. Most of the members are
business men and laboring men of mature
years, some of whom have been members
since their boyhood days. There is quite a
number of boys and young men in the vii
lage, say from eighteen TO twenty-five years
of age, who would be gladly welcomed to
membership and for whom there is ample
room. Why not join, boys, the department
cannot always live without your help?

dad" Briggs went to Detroit on the
Fourth to see the ball games. During the
day, he felt, as was perfectly natural, a strong
desire for something TO refresh the inner
man. To crafty their longing, himself and
a party of friends struck restaurant for the
purpose of filling what they felt to be disa-
greeable vacuum. After waiting for an hour
or more, the other members of the party
became uneasy and proposed to seek better
accommodations: but Dad wouldn't, and his
friends left him alone.
After walking several blocks and finding
no eligible location, they crossed over into
Windsor, where they soon placed themselves
outside of a square meal, after which they
returned to Detroit, went to the Griswold,
smoked, picked their teeth, chatted awhile
and finally sauntered slowly back to the res
taurant, which was on their route to the ball
grounds, where they found that Dad had just
given his order. He told the proprietor that
he would again be in the city on the 9Th of
September next and would like to leave his
order for that date, hoping his dinner would
be ready on time and that he might be able
to eat and see the ball game both on the
same day.

John Spackeen was in our office last Satur-
day and reported that his oats were four
feet and seven inches high. John is good
deal of farmer. His method of planting
corn is a novel one. He marks his ground
deeply each way, drops his corn where tine
marks cross and drags it in; after il is
fairly sprouted, he cross drags il. AS none
OF his neighbors beat him raising corn, his
method must be good one.
A Glendale lady went to Lake Park TO
celebrate, to see the fireworks, etc, and re-

her buggy was injured and had to be taken
to blacksmith for repairs. Seeing that the
accident occurred while she was in charge of
the rig, she very generously paid the black
smiths modest bill without calling on
her husband or troubling him about the
matter She didn't want him to be worried
over her misfortunes.
New sidewalks and crosswalks continue 10
be put down in various parts of our village.
This is as it should be, as there is certainly
great need of them. We believe, however,
that the system of compelling property own
ers to build their own walks is all wrong. A
man who chances to own corner lot has a
long walk to build and keep in repair, which
is of as much use to other people as to him
self-quite likely good deal more. The
equitable way would be to build all walks
and keep them in repair at public expense,
giving to the owners of the ad jacent premises
the option of building them themselves and
having the cost deducted from their sidewalk
tax.
The threshers of Cass county met and
formed what they termed a threshers' union
liking the minimum price at which all
threshing should be done by members of the
union, under penalty for a violation of the
scale so fixed. Very naturally, the farmers
of Cass county resented such action and, in
retaliation, formed an anti-threshers' union.
at the organization OF which the following
preamble and resolution were adopted
"WHEREAs-Certain persons or threshers of
Cass county have combined against good
policy and mutual benefit, to arbitrarily es-
tablish prices for threshing: and WHEREAS
We deem such move unjust and even in
sulting to us who furnish them work: there
fore Res0Lred-That we will not employ,
under any circumstances, any threshers who
belong to the aforesaid combination" About
forty representative farmers attached their
names to the foregoing agreement. If the
farmers of Cass or majority of them follow
suit, the threshers union will "bnst" or
there will be plenty of work for threshers
outside of the union.

TaIIyiOne for Paw Paw.

On Friday last, the Paw Paw ball club
went over TO Lawton and did" their crack
team to the tune of fifteen to seven. Both
teams played fine game, but the Lawtons.
in one or two instances were a little wild in
throwing to bases with that exception, they
played an admirable game. The playing of
the Paw Paw was almost faultless. the only
costly errors being a wild pitch by Briggs
and a passed ball by Clancy. Briggs did
some very good work in the box. consider
ing the fact that he has had but a limited
degree of practice in that position. j. Clancy
stands in for his share of credit by making
some unusual good throws to second and by
taking three foul tips. The principal fea-
lures were Chandler's one handed stop of a
hot ball on third, but he being BENJAMIN
ite had to change hands to throw to first
where the ball arrived Just little too late.
an elegant high jump, one handed catch by
Cole on second, and one or two high flies
taken by members of the Lawton team. The
boys all did well, both at the bat and in tho
field. The Decaturs can thank their stars
that they were not crossing bats with our
boys on that occasion, as they would have
met the same fate II the Paw Paws were
only little better organized and would
spend little time in practice they might
easily become the champions of the county.
The following is the score by innings:
